Short Abstract: This work shows a genome-wide assay of relation between transposable elements and microRNAs in ten public plant genomes. For that, positional intersection analysis was applied on genomic features obtained from a microRNA and a repetitive element databases. Results will be used to future development of a new database.

Genetic Pathway Interaction In Celular Cicle, Repair of DNA Damage and Apoptosis with Colon Adenoma

Sylvio Vieira, Sylvio Vieira, Brazil
Eder Simão, Centro Universitario Franciscano, Brazil
 
Short Abstract: Bioinformatics corresponds to applying the techniques of computing for the analysis of information related to biology. Thus, computers can be used to store, analyze and integrate biological and genetic information database. Thus it is possible to improve understanding of biological interactions, including metabolic diseases (HEIDEN et al., 2009).

Carlos Gil, Instituto Nacional de Câncer, Brazil
Fabio Passetti, Instituto Nacional de Câncer, Brazil
 
Short Abstract: Our research group conducted a prospection using human expressed sequence tags (ESTs) to mapped onto the human reference genome to find small deletions. We identified novel and known small deletions, some of them were already described by the 1000 genomes and also in the literature.

MENGOFams: HMM profiles to facilitate annotation propagation of microbial protein families related to bionergy

Fernanda Orpinelli, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Lucas Taniguti, University of São Paulo, Brazil
Claudia Vitorello, University of São Paulo, Brazil
João Carlos Setubal, University of São Paulo, Brazil
 
Short Abstract: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) are essential tools for automated annotation of protein sequences.Manually curated protein family HMMs remain the gold standard for use in genome annotation. Here we present results concerning the generation and curation of more than 70 HMMs of microbial protein families of bioenergy interest.

Short Abstract: Changes in the mitochondrial genome can lead to effects on cellular metabolism, and consequently on reproductive performance and/or milk or meat production. This study aimed at assembling the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of Guzerá breed (Bos taurus indicus) to improve the understanding of the mtDNA molecular diversity in the Bos genus.

A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH FOR RECLASSIFICATION OF PROTEINS: STUDY CASE Azospirillum brasilense Putative arsenate reductase “DraB” PROTEI

Bruno Nichio, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
Elisa Terumi Rubel, UFPR, Brazil
Alexandre Quadros Lejambre, UFPR, Brazil
Roberto Tadeu Raittz, UFPR, Brazil
Fábio de Oliveira Pedrosa, UFPR, Brazil
 
Short Abstract: Azopirillum brasilense is a nitrogen-fixing bacteria used as bio-fertilizer
in agriculture. The draB gene, present in this bacteria, may be indirectly related to this enzyme activity regulation by the post-translational control. We propose a general approach of data mining to the reclassification of hypothetical proteins using the NCBI GenBank database, the Blast tool, k-means algorithm.

Short Abstract: Aristotelia chilensis, is a native plant specie from Chile. The present study was designed to obtain the first draft sequence and initial characterization of Maqui genome, using high-throughput DNA sequencing. We identified 28,797 protein-coding genes will
provide a rich catalogue of genes of this antioxidant­rich compounds plant.

Short Abstract: The assembly of the S.boulardii and S.cerevisiae UFMG905 genomes (probiotic strains) generated 16 scaffolds and 83 and 194 contigs for Sb and 905. A automatic annotation revealed 5,359 and 5,232 ORFs. The evolutionary history inferred by NJ with 442 orthologous proteins from 20 Saccharomyces strains was geographical and biochemically consistent.

Short Abstract: The genomic analysis of identifying functions and biological characteristics for sequences is an important task, which is done using algorithms of sequence comparison and biologists’ knowledge to predict functions from similar sequences with already determined functions. BioAgents-Prot is a multiagent system which simulates the biologists' reasoning to annotate proteins.
